Product Details

The MAX15035 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the standard 15A application circuit of the MAX15035. This DC-DC converter steps down from the industry standard to generate low-voltage core or chipset/RAM bias supplies in computers.

The EV kit provides a dynamically adjustable 1.5V/1.05V output voltage from a 7V to 22V battery input range. It delivers up to 15A output current while achieving high efficiency. Programmed by a single resistor, the EV kit operates at 300kHz switching frequency and has superior line- and load-transient response.

The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB. It also allows the evaluation of other dynamically adjustable output voltages by varying the external reference input, which can be realized by changing resistors R1, R2, and R3.
